Killers to Manager: No $3 Mil For You!

Posted Dec 17th 2007 6:44PM by TMZ Staff

The Killers were back in front of the California State Labor Commissioner today in a bid to avoid paying a former manager $3 million. So much for Mr. Brightside!

Lead singer Brandon Flowers faced his second day of cross-examination by lawyers for Braden Merrick, who sued the Vegas rockers for unpaid commissions in 2006.

Brandon and the boys are seeking to void their management contract -- alleging Merrick booked employment without a license. Details, details!

10. Oh, that lawyer from the opposition is not biased AT ALL...

The Killers aren't the greedy type, I'm sure they have good reason to hold back.

13. Hey!! TMZ!!! While you are choking on your own stupidity for trashing good people, be aware that Britney's Blackout was voted the #1 album of 2007 by "a huge margin" by Billboard,com. Check out their report...

Don't like it, do you?? Nothing left to bash?? Washed up? Can't sing? Can't dance? Too fat? Bad mother?? No talent??

TMZ writers are the trash bin of wannabe journalists.

14. I have to agree with the posters. I love the Killers, but if they cashed the check not finding it a problem when they did that...than they need to pay the man.

15. When this Godawful band was announced on SNL last year and they started playing, I LUNGED at the TV to change the channel. Terrible. They should give their money to charity or something.
